What is the hottest topic in Taos?

By Joan Livingston
he hottest topic, from the answers we received, is politics, that is, politics Taos-style. So, according to our readers, we have bad government and bad politicians. And, if that wasn’t enough, we have corrupt government and corrupt politicians. One reader noted “political corruption at the local level” and another, “political in-fighting — childish.” Answers include political mayhem, nepotism and stupidity. Then, we have rotten politics. To be more specific, readers noted the airport expansion, annexation, and regional command center — in short, “city vs. county.” One person remarked, “County and town acting like India and Pakistan.” What were other hot topics? Art got many votes. Other popular topics were the Río Grande del Norte National Monument, economic development, and, because this is Taos, chemtrails. Then, we received this observation about Taos’ hottest topics by one person, “It changes weekly.” And this one from another, “It is a small town so it can be anything.”
